A Russel Athletic Chicago Cubs home jersey signed by former Cubs outfielder Sammy Sosa. Stitched into the front of the jersey is the "Cubs" logo patch. Stitched into the back of the jersey in blue-on-red arched tackle twill lettering is "Sosa" above his uniform number 21 in blue-on-red tackle twill numbers. Sosa has signed and inscribed the jersey "Sammy Sosa 44/66" on the number “2” in silver marker. A PSA/DNA authentication sticker is affixed to the number “2.” Stitched into the left sleeve is the Cubs logo patch. Stitched into the outer tail is a Russell Athletic Diamond Collection patch listing the jersey size as "48." In 1998 Sosa hit 66 home runs for the Cubs. It is assumed this jersey was signed after that season, and with the edition of “66” referencing the 66 home runs Sosa hit in 1998. The jersey is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from PSA/DNA. Categories:
